I don't know much about hooking multiple transceivers to the KPA500 (I only have the K3/KPA500 mix) but it would not surprise me to learn if the problem might be connected with some status check or something that is expected from the K3 if the K3 is indeed connected or maybe had been connected. A complete power cycle would clear that kind of thing.
Is the KPA500 really designed to work with multiple inputs even if they are switched? I would be interested in knowing since I also have a KX3. 73, phil, K7PEH On Jan 18, 2014, at 9:25 AM, Jim Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > I recently got a KX3 and have set up my station such that the KX3 can share > the KPA500, KAT500, and several antennas by using a pretty beefy Daiwa > 2-position coax switch.
